The two most asked questions in business:

• Are we going to hit our sales numbers this year?
• What will our sales be next year?

The first question is typically asked mid-year, and the second around the beginning of fourth quarter. Unfortunately too many executives don't have accurate answers to these two questions and choose directions for their businesses that, although well thought out, don't produce the desired result. Without a clear view of what drives sales, it is almost impossible to accurately forecast future sales.

The Top Line Predictor offers simple sales categorization, establishes key performance metrics for each category and provides the basic format for future projections. The Top Line Predictor is guaranteed to predict revenue within 5%.


Sales drive operations. Cash flow, operating capacity and personnel are all based on sales projects. What are the organizational needs in order to satisfy future customer requirements? Some managers base sales projections on "feel," others on anecdotal data from the field sales personnel. What's needed is hard, accurate data.


The Predictor provides a clearly laid out projection of sales based on the Top Line format with a customer-by-customer breakdown. The projection includes a summary page with metrics specific to your business that can be used to gage future performance.


Our basic projection, which includes the balance of your current year along with your next 12 month forecast, is $750. Each projection is presented in an excel format with a single page description of your key revenue drivers and recommendations for improvement. If you are working with target sales numbers, the Predictor will describe revenue origins, impediments and opportunities.


The most accurate projections come from reviews of three or more years of revenue data. This information includes, customer name (or customer code), item sold, quantity sold and unit price. If there is less than three years of history, a strong projection can still be made, but the accuracy tolerance will be broadened.

With the Predictor you will be ready to plan successful operations.
